CPJ: Hungarian authorities should immediately drop the misdemeanour charges against Telex journalists

The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Hungarian authorities to drop misdemeanor charges against two Telex journalists detained while trying to ask questions to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The journalists were taken to the police station for being on private property. This incident is seen as an escalation of intimidatory tactics towards reporters in Hungary.

We wanted to ask Viktor Orbán some questions, but were instead taken in by the police

At a press conference last year, Telex was not permitted to ask questions to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Recently, during an event in Fót, where Orbán opened a film studio, Telex journalists were taken to the police station after attempting to ask questions. This incident highlights the challenges faced by independent journalists in Hungary when trying to hold authorities accountable.
